\n\tTyler Perry<\/a> was one of the celebrity speakers to pull up to Georgia Thursday to encourage voters in the swing state to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>. During his speech, the esteemed film director spoke about his journey through homelessness and slammed Donald Trump for his lack of support for Black Americans during his presidency and well before it.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his speech, he recounted how he once booked a room in the Trump Hotel since the businessman seemed so revered in rap lyrics. \u201cI wanted to feel that specialness,\u201d Perry said. But, he said, he later did his research on the man and realized the kind of person Trump really is.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI found out about a discrimination lawsuit<\/a> against him and his father because they didn\u2019t want people like me in their building. I found out about him taking a full-page ad out on young black men in the New York Times.<\/em> I found out about the birther lie,\u201d Perry said. \u201cThere are undertones there and there are echoes there that we all had to pay attention to.\u201d<\/p>\n
